This week we have a super-smart design for a folded self-mailer (FSM). From Rolland Enterprises, this self-promotional piece modifies a traditional 4-panel roll fold by adding a surprise asymmetrical accordion section on the interior.
The section creates a focal point and lots of creative opportunities for imagery, call-outs and color breaks. We think you'll love this creative little tweak to a classic brochure format!
